Heating Service, Furnace and Air Conditioner Repair at Staten Island

During these cold months, your heating bills can skyrocket! Did you know that there are things you can do to save on your heating bills though? Your heating bills don’t have to be high for you to be comfortable and we’re sharing some tips for saving money on your heating bill! Furnace heating: Get your furnace serviced before each heating season. This will save you money in heating bills as well as money in repairs you could have avoided by having a service before using it. Keep your temperature set between 65-75 degrees. If your system is below 65 degrees it will run but not warm up enough, which wastes energy. If your system is above 75 degrees, you’re also wasting energy. Energy Star appliances can save you around $586 per year! If you install an Energy Star furnace in your home you’ll be using less energy which will lower your bills significantly. Clean the warm and cold air registers on your furnace. This will make sure that your furnace is running properly at the correct temperatures. Hot water heating: Keep your hot water heater insulated so that you don’t lose any heat. Set the temperature low if you’re going to be away for a longer amount of time. Don’t lower it if you’re going away for a weekend, as it will take more energy to reheat the water after this short amount of time. Keep your heat setting low, but not lower than 120 degrees. Flush your hot water more »

Most of you probably know that there are two different ways to heat your home. Some homeowners have homes with gas systems, and some have homes with oil systems.

Gas systems:   Burns clean Highly efficient Less expensive Won’t run out Oil systems:   Provides more heat When well maintained it will burn clean Messier to clean up if it’s not maintained correctly Can run out Both gas and oil systems provide heat to your home and both rely on burners. They are both safe and reliable options and there is no real reason why one is any better than the other!

Quality Cool & Heat Inc. knows how important it is to be able to tell when there is a problem, so how do you know if there is a problem with your HVAC system?

Most of us have heard the term HVAC. You probably know that your HVAC system is what keeps the temperature in your home. How much do you really know about your HVAC system though? HVAC stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, but the details after heating and cooling can get confusing. Quality Cool & Heat is here to tell you what you need to know about the HVAC system in your home. Heat: Central heating is what is used to heat your home with an HVAC system. It uses a boiler, furnace or a heat pump to heat water that in turn transfers heat to the rest of your home. The process of water being used as a way to transfer heat is called hydronics. The heat is then pumped through the ducts which are how the heat keeps the rest of your home warm. Ventilation: Ventilation is how air is changed in a space in order to control the temperature, remove moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust or airborne bacteria from a space. Basically, the indoor air quality is controlled through ventilation. You will most often find mechanical ventilation in your kitchens and bathrooms, to remove moisture and smoke quickly. Natural ventilation is done through open windows and trickle vents. Air Conditioning: This process is a little more confusing than the others. You get cool air conditioning by removing the heat in a space. There are four elements that go into cooling the air. First a compressor pumps gas, more »

If your utility bills have been steadily increasing, you might want to make some energy improvements within your home. Often, HVAC equipment such as the furnace, heat pump, air handler and air conditioning units are to blame. Taking steps to remedy these issues will reap a number of benefits, both within the home and the environment. Quality Cool & Heat can help homeowners seeking heating and cooling services in New Jersey make their home more energy efficient. Here are a few industry essentials before taking the plunge. One of the best ways to solve home heating and cooling efficiency problems is to invest in new equipment, especially if heating and cooling repair bills are mounting. Consider purchasing devices that highly rated by the Energy Star program. Homeowners can enjoy substantial savings by using these quality products. This government-regulated agency gives heating and cooling device a rating. Each of these devices’ maximum efficacy potentials have a numeric rating indicated by either SEER, (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) or AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency.) Electrically powered devices are marked with a SEER label, which typically ranges between 13 and 23. The higher this number is, the more efficiently the unit works. The same principle applies to AFUE ratings, which is used for fuel-powered devices, but they indicate a percentage. An AFUE rating of 70 means that 70 percent of the energy consumed during the operational process produces measurable results. The remaining portion vents as waste, escapes through the flue, or is hindered by other more »

We can install products to save your wallet and the environment. Energy saving heating and cooling products are newly manufactured products designed to run more efficiently than older counterparts. When purchasing one of these newer products, look for the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency or AFUE. Another thing to watch for is the Seasonal Efficiency Rating. Ask about programmable thermostats that allow you to schedule temperature changes in your home at any time of the day to save during warmer parts of the day. Heating and cooling products for your home include solar water heaters and geothermal heating and cooling systems. Solar panels will be installed on your roof and then sun will heat your homes water as it circulates. This “green” step can save you 50 to 90% on your gas and electricity bill. Savings will vary based on location. Geothermal systems are more intensive, but can save you a tremendous amount of money. The way the system works is by moving heat around rather than by converting chemical energy (the way a furnace would.) There are three major subsystems: Geothermal heat pumps move heat while an Earth connection transfers the heat between the building and the fluid of the Earth connection. The final subsystem is distribution which delivers the heat or air. We also offer tankless water heaters. Energy going into the water heater accounts for up to 30 percent of the average home’s energy bill. A tankless water heater can save your home around $70 to $80 per more »
